Don't you feel it growin', day by day 
People gettin' ready for the news 
Some are happy, some are sad 
Oh, we got to let the music play 
What the people need 
Is a way to make 'em smile 
It ain't so hard to do if you know how 
Gotta get a message 
Get it on through 
Oh, now mama's go'n' to after 'while 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
All the time 

Well I know, you know better 
Everything I say 
Meet me in the country for a day 
We'll be happy 
And we'll dance 
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away 
And if I'm feelin' good to you 
And you're feelin' good to me 
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say 
Feelin' good, feeling fine 
Oh, baby, let the music play 

Oh, oh, listen to the music 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
All the time 

Like a lazy flowing river 
Surrounding castles in the sky 
And the crowd is growing bigger 
List'nin' for the happy sounds 
And I got to let them fly 

Oh, oh, listen to the music 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
Oh, oh, listen to the music 
All the time
